40 Days after FERINJECT 1000mg
It's been 40 days since my iron infusion and my life is starting to change dramatically. I still can't believe it's possible to feel this way. Having been anemic since my teenage years, I’ve never known what it’s like to feel this way.
Now I know that people struggling with mental health issues should, first and foremost, get their blood count and vitamin levels checked. We need to look for information ourselves and stop listening to doctors who claim that single-digit ferritin cannot cause any problems.
In the final weeks before the infusion, I could barely do anything physically. I felt completely disconnected from my body. I even burst into tears just trying to do a simple bank transfer on my phone, and every single sound or light irritated my nerves.
I actually showed up for the infusion so exhausted and stressed out, because I had read so many horror stories about hypophosphatemia. I didn't end up getting hypophosphatemia , but I managed to trigger a vasovagal syncope from the sheer anxiety and fainted right there :D
I was exhausted and extremely sad for days after the infusion (a lot of people here share this experience). I was counting the days and starting to get skeptical because I wasn't feeling any change. I started to think that my problems were probably really psychological.
I think it wasn't until around the 4th week that everything started to show. I started to feel grounded in my body, with a warm feeling inside, and everything became colorful and sharp. My consciousness shifted, the brain fog started to lift, and everything calmed down mentally. I started doing 10,000 steps a day. I drove a 6-hour road trip. I feel like going out with friends and staying out later into the evening. And one more thing... I started to feel sexual feelings and arousal, and the need for a relationship (until now, I felt none of this and was disgusted by the very thought).
But don't get me wrong, it's a gradual change and I have days when I'm more tired, and then again, full of energy. Also, healing a nervous system that has been without iron for a decade doesn't happen in a month; they say it takes 3 to 6 months. Along with a change in diet and replenishing other things that are missing in the body.
Anyway, I am happy and looking forward to my new life. GET THAT FUCKING INFUSION PLEASE!!
